Role in Pack Situation: Though she is of no pack other than the two-person one she shares with her little brother, she has obviously taken the role of the leader position. Were she to be in a larger pack, Ruka wouldn't be leading but if it's in her brother's best intrests, she WILL stray from her leader and do things the way that they need to be done.
Appearance.
Clothing: Generally, Ruka easily prefers to wear dark colors, mostly purple, dark blue, dark red and especially black. Her primary outfit is a black, sleeveless top that has a thin, but low, v-neck. It's actually zippered, meaning she pulls it down that low, but it shows little cleavage so she's okay with that. Around her waist is a strange conglomerate of belts that are all somehow complete except for one dangling piece on her right side. There are long black strips of cloth that go down to her ankles but split from the attached belts in the middle of her back, from and at her sides. People always assume that she's wearing a bodysuit since her pants are black as well, but she's not. Along with that, she's wearing low, comfortable, black sneakers. She enjoys comfortable clothes that make it easier for her to move and fight, since that's what she practically does for a living. Around her neck is an item that she never takes off, if only to bathe. It's a blue, flower amulet she salvaged from her mother's belongings before the rest was taken away by officials. The necklace is strangely long so she wraps it around her neck three times before leaving it alone.Physical Description: Ruka has soft silvery-grey eyes that stick with her in both human and wolf form. She has a soft sharpness in her face and her eyes tend to have a far-away look in them twenty-four/seven. Her long raven hair goes down to her hips and is usually hanging out except when she's working so it's not in her way. Her skin is an evenly tanned caramel distinct on her rather toned body. She has long legs and a long torso, regardless of the fact that she's pretty short. When she's standing, she prefers to have some form of support so Ruka's always leaning on something, even if it's just one of her legs.
Wolf Description: Ruka's silvery-grey eyes transfer over from her human form into her wolf form, standing out from her raven fur that matches her normal raven locks. Her leg muscles are strong from all the practice running she does in laps around and in various abandoned warehouses and the exercise she gets in human form. Another thing that transferred from her disguise is the blue flower amulet that belonged to her mother. That necklace and her silvery eyes are the two things that make her stand out in the pitch dark shadows of the night. Her tail is annoyingly- in her opinion - long and fluffy, but strangely doesn't get in her way. It might be a muscle reflex, but she'd prefer if it was shorter. Ruka might blame it on the length of her hair in her human form, but she hasn't bothered to cut her hair anymore than a small trim.
Inner.
Personality: Ruka is quiet a lot of the time, but not because she's shy or hesitant to speak, she just prefers not to. She doesn't socialize with a lot of people, majorly focused on doing her job and caring for her brother as she vowed to herself. When she does speak to people, she usually gets straight to the point, regardless of how harsh it sounds. Although she is unsociable, she tends to always have a sarcastic comment tucked away for when she does speak. When Ruka is provoked she gets rather scary. It's a sort of step by step process. First, she's quiet but has this presence that makes people just a LITTLE afraid. Then, she opens her mouth goes through a series of painful tortures that she wouldn't hesitate to execute on you. Finally, she either goes through with the tortures - which is rare - or just beats you up until she's not angry anymore. Mind you, this is with people who have no chance against a Tai Chi and Kung Fu teaching assistant. However, it takes you hurting her, her brother, her close friends or saying something wrong to her. All-in-all, Ruka is actually rather kindhearted and doesn't like to see the friends and family she's managed to gain get hurt. She is sarcastic but honest, violent but loyal, and; when she has the materials; pretty excitable and funny.
History: Ruka is about seven years older than her brother, Ryou, who is only ten at the moment. Her mother, Kokoro, and her father, Akira, were apart of a large wolf pack before they came to the city. Ruka was actually born while they were still with the pack and grew up with them for about three years. Those three years influenced her sense of self and honor swiftly. It was during a harsh winter in the mountains they traveled in that they pack got seperated. The majority managed to make it out and went off in one direction since they could not locate the other members of their pack. The other members made it out as well but went off in another direction. They consisted of Haruka, her parents and an elderly wolf who died only weeks later. Soon after, Ruka and her parents settled down in the city as humans. Her mother working in a medical center as a receptionist and her father a construction worker.
When Ruka was fifteen, when Ryou was six, her and her family suffered a deadly blow. A break-in had resulted in the murder of her parents whilst she and her brother hid the closet with a perfect view of their deaths. Her brother was so traumatized that he reverted back into his wolf form and hadn't turned back. By that time, Ruka had been volunteering at the same martial arts place that she had been enrolled in a couple years after they moved there. The owner had taken a liking to her and sympathetically let her and her brother have the small one-bedroom apartment above the place. As well, Ruka also was hired on as an assistant to help pay. She mostly cleaned and aided with the newer students while she finished her own training. The owner at first assumed her brother was dead since he never saw him. But, confusion set in when she mentioned taking care of Ryou several times. Again, her boss merely assumed he was traumatized by the death(which was true) and was unsociable. Ruka managed to keep an eye on Ryou while working by keeping him in the corner and passing him off as her dog. Once she was old enough she took on another job to make things a little easier for her and her brother.
Since that several years have passed, Ruka contemplates the idea of returning to the wild she'd been raised in for several years. Sure, most forget their early years, but the life in the wild made an impression on her. However, she is cautious since her brother never lived like she did and is used to the ciity. Ruka is searching for a reason to leave the city.
